ADVANCED COMMITTEE
The Historical Security Council runs by the same rules and structures as the Security Council, albeit one significant difference. It is moved to the past. In the Historical Security Council, delegates relive, influence, and potentially alter the outcome of key historical events. Therefore, delegates represent countries that existed tens of years ago. This way they can delve deeply into their interesting histories.
TOPIC 1: The reformation of the Church in the 16th century
The beginning of the 16th century is often characterized as the start of the “New Age,” with many new scientific discoveries, the discovery of the New World, and a new perspective on religion. With corrupt church dignitaries, waves of indulgence sales, and an overall crisis in the Catholic Church, many people began to call for its reformation. This culminated in 1517 when monk Martin Luther released his 95 Theses against the Church, sparking uproar throughout the Christian world. The date is January 1520, and a fictional historical committee has gathered for a meeting to stabilize the situation in Europe. Will the committee reach a consensus, or will this result in the bloodiest war on the European continent? Only god knows.
